VARSITY TAKES FIRST GAME
FROM HADDONFIELD, 6 TO 2
M. WILLARD '17 SHOOTS FOUR GOALS
�         STRONG DEFENSE IN NEW LINE-UP
In spite of the holes left in Varsity by
the loss of 1917, Bryn Mawr won the first
hockey game of the season last Saturday,
defeating Haddonfield 6 to 2 In a good
match, market! by hard hitting. The first
half revealed a weak forward line on the
Bryn Mawr side, but the second showed
Varsity's come-back when the forwards
took the offensive and shot five goals.
Last year's Varsity defense, repre-
sented by R. Gatling '19, goal; M. Pea-
cock '19, fullback; M. Bacon '18 and B.
Weaver "20, former substitutes at half-
back, formed the backbone of the defense
on Saturday, but in the forward line
great changes appeared. O. Hearne '19
has been moved from inside to right wing
in the position played by L. Brown '17
last year; P. Turle '18 was substituting
for halfback instead of for wing, which
has been her regular place; and M. M.
Carey "20 has changed from center half
to center forward to take the place of C.
Stevens "17..
Tie at End of First Half
In the first half the forwards were in-
effective in the circle, partly on account
of careless aiming and partly due to Had-
donfleld's fine defense, the goal, Miss
Bowden. being the All-Philadelphia goal
of last year. Though the ball was in
Haddonfield territory most of this half,
no score was made until in the last seven
minutes of play M. M. Carey shot it in.
After the bully, O. Hearne took the ball
down but lost it and Haddonfield swept
into Bryn Mawr territory. A good stop,
made by R. Gatling, was followed Imme-
diately by Haddonfleld's first goal, shot
by the captain, Miss Zimmerman. Half
time was called with the ball on the Bryn
Mawr 25-yard line.
Forwards   Show   More   Dash
The Varsity line picked up In the sec-
ond half and dealt more effectively with
the opposing defense.   O. Hearne showed
np well at wing; M. Willard and A. Stiles

laughter.
In the tradition of "Gilbert the Filbert,
the kernel of the nuts", M. Butler, as
Alonzo van Mudgekin, more than con-
vinced the Freshmen that they were
"wild, simply wild", over him. His tal-
ent for burlesque was perhaps more evi-
dent than his gift for singing.
The revised and expurgated version of
"Julius Caesar", was taken from a much-
used vaudeville skit, put to college music,
and interspersed with local hits. R. Gat-
ling, as the lisping Caesar, met a noble
and pathetic death at the point of a
breadknife, while the three conspirators,
hot on the trail of the triumphant trium-
virate, slid on a banana peel to their
doom at the battle of Phillippi.
Ventriloquist Scene Makes Hit
The rag-doll Eddie (R. Hlckman), and
the professor (A. Thorndlke), after get-
ting off several jokes as time-honored as
the model for their act, the typical ven-
triloquist turn, contributed the best local
hits of the evening. The audience was
loth to see them go even at the entrance
of the Evil Kvens, conspirators in the
drama of "Death Despoiled". E. Lanier.

DR. ALEXIS CARREL POSSIBLE
SPEAKER BEFORE SCIENCE CLUB
The celebrated surgeon, and pioneer in
the study of latent life and the transplan-
tation of animal tissue. Dr. Alexis Carrel,
will probably speak at Bryn Mawr under
the auspices of the Science Club some-
time during the winter. Dr. Carrel has
been, since 1909, Associate Fellow at the
Rockefeller Institute, and won the Nobel
Prize In 1912.
"The subscription of $5600 on the first
day of the campaign was encouraging,
but not encouraging enough; we should
have on our lists every single person in
our community", said Mrs. William Roy
Smith, Professor of PTfflf Iff! and cap-
tain of the Bryn Mawr Liberty Loan
Team, speaking in Chapel last Friday.
"We are intelligent citizens, conscious of
our national duties, and must respond to
them. The response means that we ITS
patriotic�nothing more". Mrs. Smith be-
lieves that the college ought to sub-
scribe $60,000 to the Liberty Loan before
the end of the campaign on October 27.
According to Mrs. Smith we have
three prime duties in this time of our
country's crisis: to realize the crucial
problem of food and Insist on wheat less
and meatless days, to support with work
and contributions all the relief organiza-
tions of the country, especially the Red
iKiss, and to lend money to the Gov. in
ment.
Mrs. Smith compared life in a country
to life in a family, where in ordinary
times children enjoyed all possible bene-
fits, and in times'of stress were expected
to recognize their filial duty and give
help where it was needed.
LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN HITS
COLLEGE PURSES
Miss Dimon First Subscriber Reached
By Local Team
The nation-wide Liberty Loan cam-
paign has been an important feature of
the life of the college during the past
week. The Bryn Mawr Liberty Loan
Team, captained by Mrs. William Roy
Smith. Professor of Economics, had by
Tuesday night succeeded in raising
$31,100 worth of subscriptions to the
l^>an. and has every hope of getting
$50,000 by Saturday night. An effort is
being made to obtain a subscription from
�TWyaiM connected with the college:
Faculty, staff, gradua'cs, undergraduates,
and employees.
Every day since la: i Friday some mem-
ber of the College Liberty Loan Team
has been in the nil u hite ami blue booth
on the ground floor of Taylor between
8.30 and 12.30 in the morning and 2 and 3
in the afternoon to sell Bonds. The
ream, however, has not confined its ef-
forts to this booth, for in a canvass of the
'skilled Italian" laborers last week $2400
was raised.
Miss Abigail (amp Dimon. Recording
Secretary of the college, bought the first
Liberty Bond to be sold by the ( ollege
Team On the first day of the campaign,
Thursday of last week, bonds wcic taken
out by twenty-six undergraduates, nine

bers, two college employees, one gradu-
ate, and one committee, the Committee

Seniors Vote Twice For L Hodges
Contested elections were the order of
the day last week In the case of the even
(-class choice of officers.
Louise Hodges was elected president of
the Senior Class, K. Holliday, vice-presi-
dent, and K. Shnrpless, secretary, at a
meeting called by petition last Wednes
day evening to contest the elections held
earlier in the day, when C. Dodge, the re-
tiring president, misinterpreted the con-
stitution and ruled that there was only
one nominee eligible in the case of both
president and secretary. The same offi-
cers were elected at the second meeting
as at the first.
Miss Hodges was secretary of the Un-
dergraduate Association last year and Is
now on the advisory board. She is an ed-
itor of "Tlpyn o' Bob" and has acted in
both her class plays.

War Relief and the Christian Associa-
tion, and whether they shall be related,
the question gradually compelling the at-
tention of Hi" Whole college, was first offi-
cially disci i I oa October^6thjt a
joint meeting of the Cnderi;nurMve and
Christian Association boards and the ex-
ecutives of the War Relief Committee.
On the ground that the proposed work
for a reconstruction unit should Include
all members of the college, whether or
not members of the Christian Associa-
tion, all alumna;. Faculty, and staff, it
was agreed that the War Relief Commit-
tee should be made into a separate body
independent of any existing organisation
and that the new body should be directed
by an executive staff of two members
elected from each class, two from the
graduates, and representatives from Fac-
ulty and alumna?. The plan, it was felt,
would not necessarily mean a revolution
In the committee's work, but would
merely put it on a wider foundation. The
workroom would go on as before.
Maes Meeting Falls Through
The project was explained at the
Senior and Junior class meetings last
week. Bills and posters were printed
summoning every one connected with the
college to a mass meeting to be held taut
